Schoolchild's weather diary. Observing the weather and keeping a weather diary
In this diary you will record your observations of nature. To do this, you need to know the conventions with which you can record these observations.
Monitor the weather throughout the year. Using symbols, write down the results of your observations in tables.
September
During observations from September 11 to 17, there were 2 cloudy days, 4 cloudy days and 1 clear day. Precipitation in the form of rain was observed for two days. The air temperature was from +16°C to +26°C. This is much higher than the average air temperature in September (+12.5°C - the average for the last 10 years). We can conclude that this week of September in Moscow was quite cloudy, but very warm.
October
During observations from October 16 to 22, there were 4 cloudy days, 2 cloudy days and 1 clear day. Precipitation in the form of rain was observed within one day. The air temperature was from +2°C to +14°C. According to statistics, the average air temperature in Moscow in October is +5.7°C. It turns out that 5 days were warmer than normal, and two days were colder. Conclusion: October this year is quite warm and dry, but cloudy.
November
During observations from November 20 to 26, there were 6 cloudy days, 1 cloudy day, and not a single clear day. Precipitation in the form of snow was observed for three days. The air temperature was from -5°C to +2°C. According to statistics, the average air temperature in Moscow in November is +1°C. It turns out that 6 days were significantly colder than normal, and one day was warmer. Conclusion: November this year was very cold and cloudy.
December
During observations from December 18 to 24, all 7 days were cloudy. Precipitation in the form of snow was observed for two days. The air temperature was from -3°C to +1°C. According to statistics, the average air temperature in Moscow in December is -3.5°C. That is, all 7 days were much warmer than normal. Conclusion: this December was much warmer than usual and very cloudy.
January
During observations from January 15 to 21, there were 5 cloudy and 2 cloudy days. Precipitation in the form of snow was observed for 4 days. The air temperature was from -8°C to -2°C. According to statistics, the average air temperature in Moscow in January is -8°C. This means that for 3 days the temperature corresponded to the climate norm, and for 4 days it was slightly above average. Conclusion: in January the weather was a little warmer than usual, but overall January was quite normal for Moscow.
February
During observations from February 12 to 18, there were 3 cloudy, 2 cloudy and 2 clear days. Precipitation in the form of snow was observed for 2 days. The air temperature was from -7°C to -3°C. According to statistics, the average air temperature in Moscow in February is -5.2°C. We can say that the temperature differed slightly from the average values: 3 days was slightly below normal and 4 days slightly higher. Conclusion: in February the weather fully corresponded to the Moscow climate norm.
March
During observations from March 19 to 25, there were 3 cloudy and 4 clear days. There was no precipitation at all. The air temperature was from 0°C to +6°C. According to statistics, the average air temperature in Moscow in March is -0.3°C. This means that the air temperature in this week of March was significantly above normal for all seven days. Conclusion: March in Moscow was very warm and absolutely without precipitation.
April
During observations from March 16 to 22, there were 4 cloudy, 1 cloudy and 2 clear days. There was no precipitation at all. The air temperature was from +2°C to +20°C. According to statistics, the average air temperature in Moscow in April is +7°C, that is, 6 out of 7 days were significantly warmer than the climate norm. Conclusion: in April the weather was significantly warmer than average air temperatures obtained over the last 10 years of observations.
May
During observations from March 14 to 20, there were 4 cloudy and 3 cloudy days. Precipitation in the form of rain was observed for two days. The air temperature was from +8°C to +22°C. According to statistics, the average air temperature in Moscow in April is +14.3°C. This means that the air temperature was below normal for 3 days and above normal for 4 days. Conclusion: May in Moscow approximately corresponded to the average values of long-term observations.
Analyze the weather of each week of the month and draw a conclusion. Write it down.
If you look at the results, you can see that:
— September — warmer than the climate norm;
— October — warmer than the climate norm;
— November — colder than the climate norm;
— December — warmer than the climate norm;
— January — warmer than the climate norm;
— February — within the climatic norm;
— March — warmer than the climate norm;
— April — warmer than the climate norm;
— May — within the climatic norm.
Conclusion: out of 9 months of the academic year, 6 months were warmer than the climate norm, 1 month was colder and 2 months corresponded to the average.
At first glance, one could say that the weather this year was much warmer than usual, but for a reliable conclusion it is necessary to evaluate observational data for each day of the assessed period, since reliable conclusions cannot be drawn based on data from just one week from each month.
Comment: accurate weather data in the desired locality for any date can be found on the Internet. For example, on the website https://www.gismeteo.ru/diary/4368/2018/4/ or on other similar sites. Average temperature values can be found, for example, on Wikipedia on the page of your city or village.
Questions for the observation diary
1. Late in the evening, look at the starry sky. Find the constellation Ursa Minor, and in it - the North Star. Use it to determine the sides of the horizon.
2. Find physical and political maps in the atlas. Compare them. Find similarities and differences.
Similarities:
— both types of maps show various geographical objects: continents, oceans, seas, rivers, islands, bays, straits, peninsulas, etc.;
— maps of both types are drawn to scale; from them you can always determine the size of objects and the distance, for example, between cities;
- both types of maps can show either the entire world (world map), or individual continents or continents (for example, a map of Europe or a map of Asia), or certain areas of the planet’s surface (for example, a map of the Scandinavian Peninsula).
Differences:
- these types of maps are made for different purposes: a physical map shows natural landscapes: mountains, lowlands, hills, plateaus, sea depressions, etc., and a political map shows the territory of states and their borders, capitals, main cities, main routes of communication and etc.;
- for these types of maps, different standards of color designation are adopted: on a physical map, colors indicate the height of the surface above sea level or the depth of the seabed (from light green to dark brown for height and from light blue to dark blue for depth), and on the political map shows individual states in different contrasting colors;
- political maps can change quite often (for example, when the borders of a state change or states are united), while physical maps are more permanent, since new islands and mountains appear very rarely.
3. Learn to show geographic features on a wall map.
Complete the task yourself
4. Find in additional literature how the numbers from 21 to 100 are designated in Roman numeration. Show in class how these numbers are written.
The number 21 is written XXI.
The number 100 is written S.
5. Select a World Heritage Site. Prepare a presentation about it.
The historical center of St. Petersburg and associated monument complexes
St. Petersburg is one of the most beautiful cities in Russia. It amazingly combines monuments of the Peter the Great era, Soviet architectural masterpieces and modern buildings and neighborhoods.
St. Petersburg was included in the UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 1990. This was a unique case when almost the entire city became a heritage object, and not individual buildings or an architectural ensemble, but St. Petersburg deserves it!
The Winter Palace and Palace Square, Nevsky Prospekt and the Kazan Cathedral, the buildings of the Academy of Arts and the Twelve Colleges, the Bronze Horseman and St. Isaac's Cathedral, Konyushennye Streets, New Holland, the Admiralty and the Exchange - the list of world-famous monuments of St. Petersburg could go on for a very long time. But there are also many cultural treasures around the city: Catherine Palace, Alexandria, Oranienbaum, Peterhof, Pavlovsk and many many other palace complexes, parks and natural areas.
Incredibly, in addition to historical sites and unique natural places of St. Petersburg, UNESCO included in the heritage list also little-known attractions: the ancient Russian Orekhovskaya fortress on Ladoga, the Sestroretsk arms factory, the Lindulovskaya grove and some others.
6. Using a physical map, tell us about large mineral deposits in Russia.
On the map you can see that Russia is rich in a wide variety of minerals. The largest reserves are located:
- oil (large black triangle) - on Sakhalin, Western Siberia, in the north and south of the Ural Mountains, in the Volga region, on the northwestern coast of the Caspian Sea;
— natural gas (large white triangle) — in Western Siberia, the Urals, the Volga region, and the Stavropol Territory;
- hard coal (black square) - in the Far East, Kamchatka, Eastern Siberia, Altai, in the north of the Ural Mountains, Murmansk, on the Don;
- gold (half-filled circle) - in Eastern Siberia, in the south of the Urals;
— diamonds (green star) — in Eastern Siberia.
7. Go with your parents for a walk in the nearest park or forest. Determine which trees are more common. What type of forests are your area?
When my parents and I went to the forest to pick mushrooms, I saw a variety of trees, there were pines, spruces, oaks, birches and aspens. We came across thickets of bushes and berries. Sometimes we went out into sunny green meadows, and sometimes we found ourselves in dark thickets. Dad called this forest mixed because both coniferous and deciduous trees grew in it. Such forests are very typical for the area in which I live.
8. Choose a reserve of any natural area. Prepare a presentation about it.
Zhigulevsky Reserve
The Zhigulevsky Nature Reserve is located on the banks of the great Volga River in the very heart of the Samara region. This place is called Samara Luka, since the Volga in a wide loop (bend, bow, as they used to say) goes around the ancient Zhiguli Mountains. This is an incredibly beautiful place, mostly preserved in its original form.
Inside the Samara Luka, bounded on almost all sides by the waters of the Volga, unique plants and animals have been preserved. For example, plants that are representative of the Ice Age still grow here: bearberry and bifolia, as well as other plants from ancient eras: speckled harlequin, speckled harlequin, gray teresken and others. The reserve also preserves real Russian forests: oak and birch groves, pine forests, alder and spruce forests.
The forests are home to several hundred species of animals: moose, roe deer, wild boars, wolves, lynxes, badgers, stoats, weasels, forest ferrets, foxes and many others. Their numbers are carefully monitored and efforts are made to create conditions for more comfortable living in the reserve. For example, it was possible to increase the number of moose, hares and stoats.
More than 150 species of birds nest in the river lowlands and on numerous islands: eagle owls, owls, wood grouse, black grouse, woodpeckers, tits, wagtails, warblers, blue tits, cuckoos, pikas, hazel grouse, as well as white-tailed eagles, mute swans, gray herons, common terns, golden bee-eaters and many many others.
9. Write down what types of relief you observed in your area.
I live in central Russia and here the terrain is mostly flat. So our city is located in a river valley and is surrounded by small hills. When my parents and I go to the dacha, we sometimes walk through the surrounding meadows and forests. There are small ravines, depressions and small mounds that cannot even be called hills. Small rivers sometimes flow in the ravines, and swamps form in the depressions. And I often want to call the hills mountains; they are quite large here, reaching 300 meters. But after I traveled to the south and saw the Caucasus Mountains, I realized that our hills are certainly not mountains, they still have to “grow and grow” to become mountains.
10. Are they involved in crop and livestock farming in your area? If yes, then remember what cultivated plants and what animals are raised. Why are these species grown and bred? What natural features allow people to engage in these activities?
There are many fields, rivers, lakes and water meadows in my region. This is a very favorable area for agricultural development. The fields grow corn, wheat, rye, buckwheat and barley, as well as sunflowers, potatoes, cabbage, carrots, celery, strawberries and many other vegetables and berries. Some villages have large orchards with apples, pears and cherries.
In terms of livestock farming, we have very good poultry farms, several pig farms and cattle farms raising cows for meat and milk. The ostrich farm, located near our city, was built more for the entertainment of tourists than for agricultural activities, but a certain amount of eggs, meat and feathers is also produced there.
We conduct independent meteorological observations.
Part 1: Weather Diary.
Malakhov O. - 09.14.2008
An important task facing a novice meteorologist is to study the weather regime in his geographic location by conducting regular meteorological observations. To do this, it is not at all necessary to acquire a weather station, but it is enough to have a regular thermometer outside the window and a barometer in the room.
The author of these lines conducted regular weather observations in Moscow and its environs from 1991 to 2001. Observations were made in four periods: the first - from 7 to 10 Moscow time, the second - from 13 to 15 Moscow time, the third - from 17.30 to 19 Moscow time and, finally, the fourth - from 21 to 23 Moscow time. At each time point, the temperature, atmospheric pressure, strength and direction were noted, as well as the nature of the wind, the nature of cloudiness, the presence of precipitation, and special phenomena. An example of the author's observation journal pages can be seen.
The temperature value was determined using a thermometer outside the window, atmospheric pressure in mmHg. Art. - according to the barometer. Wind strength was determined on the Beaufort scale (in points), wind direction - by smoke from chimneys and/or movement of lower clouds. The nature of the wind was also noted: smooth or gusty.
In the “Cloudiness” column, information about the clouds was recorded (the type or appearance of the observed cloudiness, the presence of gaps). If there were no clouds, a dash was added. The “Precipitation” column recorded the nature and phase of precipitation. If there was no precipitation, a dash was added. The column “Special phenomena” included information about such phenomena as thunderstorms, fog, haze, hail, optical phenomena and other phenomena or weather features that interested the observer. If there were no special phenomena or comments about the current weather, a dash was added.
Information about observed weather between periods was entered at the bottom of the page under the table of meteorological parameters of the main periods in the form of regular entries.
For each day, the average temperature was determined (the sum of observed temperatures was divided by the number of periods), and the nature of cloudiness for the day was recorded: cloudy, cloudy with clearings, variable, clear (partly cloudy).
It is worth noting that the thermometer outside the window should always be in the shade and should not be exposed to the rays of the sun. Of course, this is difficult for those observers whose thermometers are installed in the south. They are advised to work out protection from direct sunlight. Otherwise, the resulting temperature value will be the temperature of the thermometer heated by the sun, and not the surrounding air, which, of course, does not make any sense from the point of view of meteorological observations.
Sometimes, to fill gaps in observations or to clarify data, it is recommended to use data from the nearest weather station (such data can be obtained on the Internet or from television and radio messages). But it is not recommended to abuse this approach, because... Our main goal is to learn how to observe the weather ourselves and notice the peculiarities of changes in meteorological parameters as it changes in a specific geographical area.
Amateur meteorological observations, as a rule, are not of scientific interest. However, the author is convinced that regular accurate and accurate records of the weather in those geographical points near which there are no weather stations (say, at a distance of 40-50 km) can be interesting for studying the characteristics of the microclimatic conditions of a given geographical area. Information about dangerous meteorological phenomena such as thunderstorms, hailstorms, and tornadoes is also very important. And if information about thunderstorm centers is determined using data from meteorological satellites, then information about hailstorms and tornadoes, as well as squally winds leading to destruction, can be obtained mainly through visual observations. This is due to the sparse network of weather stations in modern Russia and the CIS countries, as well as the small scale of action of the listed phenomena and the short period of their existence.
Each of you can develop your own weather diary, and also decide in what form it will be: paper or electronic. From the point of view of our project, it would be interesting for us to publish weather diaries on the pages of our website, as well as provide information assistance to novice weather enthusiasts. The main thing is the regular display of all the most important weather parameters at different times of the day. True, some of you can concentrate on observing the most striking and interesting meteorological processes. To do this, it is important to provide a detailed description of the weather during the entire observed meteorological process (for example, the formation of a thunderstorm, the passage of an atmospheric front, etc.). But such episodic observations will not provide the opportunity to obtain a complete picture of meteorological processes in your geographic area and their interseasonal and interannual variability.
And, of course, we cannot fail to mention the following: today Internet access is becoming widespread. Access points are appearing (or are planned to appear) even in rural areas. It is possible to access the Internet using a mobile phone. Thus, for novice meteorology enthusiasts, it seems possible to study daily weather maps. We strongly recommend comparing your observations with such maps. This will contribute to a clearer understanding of the connection between the observed meteorological parameters and the ongoing changes in the pressure field in your region, as well as with the prevailing air masses. It may also be useful to examine deviations of actual weather from predicted weather, attempting to provide a synoptic explanation for these deviations.
We wish all novice meteorology enthusiasts interesting observations and a wide variety of weather, showing all the versatility and uniqueness of the meteorological processes that each of us witnesses almost every day!

In the process of studying the subject “Environment”, primary school and junior secondary school students cannot do without a weather observation diary. In it, schoolchildren not only record objective data on weather changes, but also learn to analyze and compare indicators. The child has to refer to such a manual every day, so it is extremely important that it is correctly and interestingly designed.
The purpose of a weather diary
A weather diary helps a child better understand the features of the environment
A weather diary is a calendar in which the factors that determine changes in the world around us are listed day by day:
- air temperature;
- wind strength and direction;
- humidity;
- cloudiness;
- Atmosphere pressure.
Keeping a weather diary not only develops observation skills, but also:
- creates a sense of responsibility in the child;
- teaches accuracy;
- trains attention.
Based on such observations, the baby will be able to predict changes in the environment, and this is already the initial stage of research work.
The weather calendar can be made in a notebook, album or on a computer. However, the last option is the least preferable, as it does not allow for a creative approach to design. It is the handmade weather diary that will be discussed further.
How to do
On the website gismeteo.ru you can find not only an electronic version of the diary, but also choose the most convenient form of making observations for yourself
To make the diary beautiful, neat and easy to navigate, the work should be properly organized. For this you will need:
- pens of different colors;
- felt-tip pens or gel pens;
- a simple pencil;
- ruler.
There are two most convenient ways to work with an observation diary:
- The page is divided into 5 vertical columns. They include observational indicators (air temperature, humidity, etc.). Next, divide the field into 7 horizontal lines according to the number of days of the week. At the top we sign the month and date range.
- The page is divided into 6 columns, the first of which is the date, and the rest are weather data.
Examples of guidance in the photo
Observation diary in the textbook Proverbs and sayings about the weather Observation diary page with drawings
A child can show his creativity by designing the cover of such a notebook. On it you can draw small pictures of nature at different times of the year, making a kind of collage, or schematically draw good weather (sun, no clouds, light wind, etc.). Moreover, you can make voluminous applications on the cover. Just don’t glue too large elements: don’t forget that, first of all, the diary is intended for recording important data, and not for practicing your creative skills. A calendar in which the beginning of each season is preceded by a picture depicting the weather at that time of year will look very original.
The cover of the weather observation diary, of course, should be unusual and different from other notebooks
And, of course, don’t forget to sign your weather observation diary. Another necessary nuance: the first page of the diary should be devoted to deciphering the symbols that will be used in the calendar. For example, “sun” for clear weather, a number written in blue ink for negative temperatures, red for positive, “cloud” to show cloudiness, and “sun covered by clouds” to indicate partly cloudy weather.
Devices for measuring indicators
You can choose an unusual outdoor thermometer in the shape of an animal - this will make it much more interesting for your child to handle it
To maintain a weather calendar, special instruments are needed to obtain objective data:
- outdoor thermometer;
- compass;
- aneroid barometer (this device shows not only atmospheric pressure, but also air humidity);
- weather vane (to determine wind direction);
- precipitation gauge
If it is more or less clear with the first three devices - they are found in almost every home, then with the last couple some difficulties may arise. In order not to buy a weather vane, you can use the old proven method: we stand facing north, wet our finger and lift it up - on which side the finger dries faster - in that direction the wind blows. And if you have a light thin lath and a strip of tin, then you can make a weather vane with your own hands by attaching a tin arrow to the lath.
We use a small bucket as a precipitation gauge, which is filled with rainwater or snow per day. After this, pour the liquid into a measuring vessel and divide the indicator by 10 - this is the amount of precipitation in millimeters of the water layer.
How can a student take notes?
Intermediate students can be given additional tasks on the weather diary. For example, make a forecast chart of atmospheric pressure for a certain period
The main condition for keeping a weather diary is to record indicators at the same time. At the same time, you should not rely on your memory and “accumulate” data: it is better to enter values immediately after measurement, for example, daily at 13.00.
- It's better to start with air temperature. Just make sure the thermometer is hanging in the shade, otherwise the readings will be incorrect.
- Humidity and pressure are then recorded.
- After that, we look out the window and determine the cloudiness.
- We record data on the wind direction and amount of precipitation in the diary.
If there is no data (for example, precipitation), then we put a dash in the column. You can fill in the missing information with a weather forecast on the Internet.
For older children, the weather calendar should be a little more complicated. To do this, the indicators are measured three times a day (morning, afternoon and evening), and then added up, divided by three and the average indicators are calculated.
The weather observation calendar can be the beginning of your child's journey into big science. This type of work disciplines and helps to build the right strategies for analyzing the material. Additionally, your student learns to be mindful of the world around them. As for the design of the weather calendar, here the child will be able to show his creativity and decorate the diary to his liking.

Natural phenomena in autumn
Autumn phenomena in nature
In autumn, sunny days gradually give way to long and cloudy days with rain and a gradual drop in temperature. In autumn, nature bestows such phenomena as rain, fog, leaf fall, and closer to winter, frost and the first snow.
Fog
Fog most often occurs when the temperature drops at night in the evening and morning. When air humidity is high, for example after rain or during a damp, cool season, the cooled air turns into small droplets of water. These drops are microscopic and light; they do not fall to the ground and linger in the air, forming an opaque watery haze - fog. Most often, fogs are observed in late autumn in November.
Frost
In autumn, when daytime temperatures are above zero degrees and nighttime temperatures drop below zero, the earth cools. Frost may form and puddles may become covered with a thin film of ice. During frosts, the night air temperature cools the ground, grass, and trees. Steam in the air, consisting of watery droplets, touches cooled surfaces and settles, turning into a thin ice film. If the temperature of the earth is below zero, frost forms; if it is higher, dew forms.
Leaf fall,
Going through their year-round cycle, plants and trees shed their leaves in the fall, exposing bark and branches, preparing for hibernation. Even before the leaves fall, the leaves of the trees dry out, acquire a yellow or red appearance and, gradually, the wind throws the leaves to the ground, forming a round dance - leaf fall... Nature needs fallen leaves for future growth. So in the spring, old leaves form humus, which is so necessary for the soil for a new growing season.
General conclusion about the weather in September and the reasons for its formation
Analyzing the weather, it should be noted that our autumn is early and long, often cloudy and rainy. Warm weather usually lasts until mid-September, yellowing leaves, rain and cold weather from the middle of the month indicate the onset of autumn. September was rainy and cold this year, although this is not typical for September. Based on the analysis of observations, we are convinced of the correctness of the theoretical position that air pressure changes with temperature. The temperature decreases, the pressure increases and vice versa, the temperature increases, the pressure decreases. As pressure increases, dry, clear weather sets in.
We have identified the relationship between weather elements for the observed days:
Western, southwestern, southern winds bring precipitation; Eastern winds and northern winds lower the air temperature.
The air temperature drops and clear weather sets in. With the predominance of westerly winds, cloudy and cloudy weather prevails.
The influence of weather on human health.
What is to blame? Our lives are influenced not only by the notorious atmospheric pressure - the difference in the movement of impressive masses of air, but also by other weather phenomena; changes in air humidity, wind speed, temperature fluctuations and, finally, magnetic storms caused by the activity of the Sun. It is not for nothing that they are also referred to as “Space Weather,” since the scale of the influence of these storms on humans is truly cosmic.
The complex impact on a person of all the factors listed above can make adjustments to his life. The most harmless thing that this effect can do is to temporarily reduce performance and cause a sharp change in mood. Serious consequences of exposure to weather conditions can include significant health problems, and even sudden hypertensive crises - unexpectedly appearing, short-lived conditions that bring new symptoms or aggravate the symptoms of old diseases.
Atmospheric phenomena and seasonal changes in living or non-living nature.
With the onset of autumn, the environment becomes colder. There are changes in inanimate nature associated with the weather: cloudiness, precipitation, temperatures become lower (even frosts). Therefore, people wear warmer clothes. Animals are actively preparing for winter: they accumulate fat, stock up on food...Trees change the color of their leaves and shed them...Many plants bear fruit, many have seeds...Insects hide, birds fly south, Let us remember the poem:
Autumn has come
The flowers have dried up,
And the bare bushes look sad.
The grass in the meadows withers and turns yellow.
The winter fields are just turning green...
What signs about the weather in September were confirmed?
Weather conditions often affect our well-being. Whether it is pouring rain or long-awaited rain, a person’s mood changes accordingly. Even in ancient times, people believed in folk omens regarding weather conditions. Our ancestors often associated weather conditions with the gods sending their wrath or mercy to the earth. Autumn is the time to harvest. What we sow is what we reap at the beginning of autumn. Therefore, folk signs about the weather for September worried people much more than all other worldly concerns. It has been noted that dry and warm September foreshadows the late arrival of winter. And if thunder suddenly strikes in September, it means a warm autumn and a snowy winter. Leaf fall that ends quickly promises a harsh winter. You can judge by the birch tree the arrival of spring: if the leaves of the birch tree turn yellow at the top, it will be early spring, and if at the bottom, it will be late spring. And if the leaves turn yellow but do not fall, then get ready for a cold winter. A cold winter is foreshadowed by a leaf that has fallen with its front side, and vice versa, a leaf that has fallen with the wrong side of the leaf is foreshadowed by a warm winter. Christmas tree cones grow from below - early frosts will come, from below - frosts will come late. If an oak tree has a lot of acorns in September, it means a severe winter with a lot of snow.
If a lot of mosquitoes appear in September, this means the arrival of a mild winter. By the flight of cranes you can determine what the future autumn will be like: if the birds fly high in the sky, it means there will be a warm and mild autumn. The web also determines what autumn and winter will be like: if there are a lot of webs in September, it means there will be a sunny autumn and a harsh winter.
Live barometers
After all, there are creatures on earth who actually predict in which direction the cyclone will move, taking into account all the anomalies, and they predict this without any calculations. Scientists now name about 600 species of animals and 400 species of plants that can act as barometers, indicators of humidity and temperature, predictors of storms, storms or good cloudless weather. Let's walk down the ladder of living beings and see who is capable of what.
In our fresh water bodies, crayfish crawl ashore before the rain. A similar picture can be seen at sea. If small crabs, hermit crabs, and amphipods have gone ashore, it means there is a storm.
Even when the sky is clear, the ants quickly close all the entrances to the anthill. The bees stop flying to the flowers for nectar, sit in the hive and buzz. Butterflies also try to take cover before a thunderstorm. If they are not visible above the flowers, it means that it will start raining in a few hours.
The flight of dragonflies can say a lot about the state of the weather. If a dragonfly flies smoothly high above the bushes, sometimes stopping in place, you can be calm - the weather will be good. Let's look at the barometer, the arrow shows "clear". And now, near the same bush, there are not solitary dragonflies flying, but small flocks, flying nervously, in leaps and bounds. The barometer needle stopped at the inscription “variably.” The sky is almost clear, and the flocks of dragonflies have increased, their wings rustle strongly when flying, and they fly very low. Don't even look at the barometer - it will rain soon. And indeed, after an hour or two it begins.
Grasshoppers can tell you about good weather. If they chirp loudly in the evening, the morning will be sunny.
The aquarium, twisting like a ribbon, will soon cover the sky with clouds. Just before it rains, he rushes up and down in the water.
The influence of weather conditions on people's lives and health.
We have been monitoring the weather for a month. We highlight the reasons for its uniqueness. Using the knowledge gained, collected data, and generalized materials, I developed the project “The Impact of Weather Conditions on Human Health”
The processes occurring in the atmosphere concern everyone. People judge the weather not only by the books and textbooks they read, but by their own experience - by how it affects their health, well-being, and performance. People's judgments about the weather largely reflect the individual characteristics of a person's reaction to the state of the external environment and are often subjective. Almost all of us are interested in the weather, at least from time to time; it is a constant topic of conversation, but we don’t know everything about it. Numerous statistics on human health research show that health depends on the combination and interrelation of the following factors: lifestyle, heredity, environment, health care system.
Several decades ago, it never occurred to almost anyone to connect their performance, their emotional state and well-being with the activity of the Sun, with the phases of the Moon, with magnetic storms and other cosmic phenomena.
Climate has a serious impact on human well-being, influencing it through weather factors. Weather conditions include a complex of physical conditions: atmospheric pressure, humidity, air movement, oxygen concentration, the degree of disturbance of the Earth's magnetic field, and the level of atmospheric pollution.
With a sharp change in weather, physical and mental performance decreases, illnesses worsen, and the number of mistakes, accidents and even deaths increases.
It is well known that near fast-flowing water the air is refreshing and invigorating. It contains many negative ions. For the same reason, the air after a thunderstorm seems clean and refreshing to us.
On the contrary, the air in cramped rooms with an abundance of various kinds of electromagnetic devices is saturated with positive ions. Even a relatively short stay in such a room leads to lethargy, drowsiness, dizziness and headaches. A similar picture is observed in windy weather, on dusty and humid days. Experts in the field of environmental medicine believe that negative ions have a positive effect on health, while positive ions have a negative effect.
Weather changes do not affect the well-being of different people in the same way. When the weather changes, a healthy person makes timely adjustments, as a result, the protective reaction is enhanced, and healthy people practically do not feel the negative influence of the weather.
